2 testosterone; and 4-androstene-3, 17-dione].
3 d. The commissioner shall make regulations to list the following addi-
4 tional substances as emerging contaminants; provided however the commis-
5 sioner may, upon review and recommendation by the drinking water quality
6 council pursuant to section eleven hundred thirteen of this title deter-
7 mine not to include such chemicals as emerging contaminants by January
8 first, two thousand twenty-four: 1,2,3-trichloropropane; chloromethane
9 (methylchloride); 1,1-dichloroethane; bromomethane (methyl bromide);
10 chlorodifluoromethene (HCFC-22); vanadium; molybdenum; cobalt; stronti-
11 um; chromium-6; N-ethyl perfluorooctanesulfonamidoacetic acid (NEtFO-
12 SAA); N-methyl perfluorooctanesulfonamidoacetic acid (NMeFOSAA);
